Excerpt from The Secrets of a Savoyard "The Gondoliers." (After assisting at the first night of the new Gilbertand-Sullivan revival.) You may boast of your Georgian birds of song And say that never was stuff so strong, That its note of genius simply mocks At yester-century's feeble crocks, And floods the Musical Comedy stage With the dazzling art of a peerless age. But for delicate grace and dainty wit, For words and melody closely knit, Your best purveyors of mirth and joy Were never in sight of the old Savoy; They never began to compete, poor dears, With Gilbert-and-Sullivan's Gondoliers. For me, as an out-of-date Victorian, Prehistoric and dinosaurian, I hardly feel that I dare reflect On the art of the day with disrespect; But if anyone asks me, "Who'll survive - The living dead, or the dead alive? Which of the two will be last to go - The Gondoliers or the latest show?" I wouldn't give much for the latter's chance; That is the view that I advance, Trusting the public to bear me out (The good from the bad they re quick to sever); "Of this I nurse no manner of doubt, No probable, possible shadow of doubt, No possible doubt whatever." - O.

The captivating story of the famed Savoy Hotel’s founders, told through three generations—and one hundred years—of glamour and high society. For the gondoliers-themed birthday dinner, the hotel obligingly flooded the courtyard to conjure the Grand Canal of Venice. Dinner was served on a silk-lined floating gondola, real swans were swimming in the water, and as a final flourish, a baby elephant borrowed from London Zoo pulled a five-foot high birthday cake. In three generations, the D'Oyly Carte family and London's Savoy Hotel pioneered the idea of the luxury hotel and the modern theater, propelled Gilbert and Sullivan to lasting stardom, made Oscar Wilde a transatlantic celebrity, inspired a P. G. Wodehouse series, and popularized early jazz, electric lights, and Art Deco. Following the history of the iconic Savoy Hotel through three generations of the D'Oyly Carte family, The Secret Life of the Savoy brings to life the extraordinary cultural legacy of the most famous hotel in the world.

This book deals with the choral music of Sir Arthur Sullivan (1842-1900) and is a serious study of the works both historically and musically. It is the first book to discuss all of Sullivan's major choral works in detail in one volume, breaking new ground with a fresh approach to the musical analysis of the works and in the process, shedding new light on the mind of the composer. This makes the book an object of interest both to the serious student of music and to the general reader who has an interest in the choral music of the nineteenth century.

The Complete Annotated Gilbert and Sullivan provides the complete text of all the Gilbert and Sullivan operas which are still performed today, together with extensive annotations covering 'lost' songs, alterations and additions, obscure allusions, production points, and comments of interest.Each opera has an introduction which places it in its context, and a potted history of performances up to the present. No other book provides such extensive commentary on the texts of the Savoy Opera nor such a source of innocent merriment to fans of the incomparable Victorian duo.For each opera, there is a short introduction describing how the work came to be written, and giving its performance history. The text, including stage directions, is given on the right-hand page, and on the left (keyed in by line numbers) are notes. These give such information as the identity of areal-life person appearing or mentioned as a character, wordings that were different in the original edition (the one sent to the Lord Chamberlain for licensing), changes made for the first American performance, glosses on technical terms (e.g. legal terms), literary references, cross-references tosimilar items in other Savoy operas, comments from first-night critics, and many other things
